and maintain its organic and in-organic growth despite of challenges of a turbulent regulatory
environment and volatile economic scenario due to the pandemic. This commitment of Searle is
reflected in the acquisition of OBS Pharma (now Searle Pakistan Limited). Searle is also focusing
on its product demand in international market due to increased healthcare spending trend after
COVID-19 which is expected to translate into greater revenues for the industry.

of the Company. Same is the case with our partners, suppliers and customers, for which we
